OpenSats is thrilled to announce a $250,000 donation from the Human Rights Foundation's Bitcoin Development Fund, first announced during the 2024 Oslo Freedom Forum.

The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) defends global human rights by supporting dissidents and challenging authoritarian regimes, and their Bitcoin Development Fund backs projects that enhance Bitcoin's privacy, security, and usability to promote global financial freedom.

This generous contribution is specifically allocated for our Operations Budget, ensuring our essential operational functions remain robust and effective.

OpenSats is a powerful force for good in the world. Their largely volunteer-driven team has an outsized impact, and HRF is thrilled to support their important work with this grant to help sustain their operations.

—Christian Keroles, Director of Financial Freedom

Unlike our General Fund and The Nostr Fund, which pass 100% of donations directly to developers and projects, the Operations Budget is what sustains the organizational framework that makes our grantmaking possible. This funding empowers us to continue our behind-the-scenes work, which keeps our mission thriving.

We are grateful to HRF for their trust and support. If you share our commitment to fostering open-source development in the Bitcoin and nostr ecosystems, please consider donating to our cause. Your support drives meaningful innovation and helps us champion the technologies of tomorrow.
